Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports that the Saints have been trying to work out a long-term deal with WR Chris Olave.
Russini added that despite his name being in the rumor mill as a trade candidate, New Orleans is looking to get a deal done at some point in the near future.
Olave, 25, was first-team All-Big Ten in 2020 and 2021 and a second-team AP All-American in 2021 as a senior. The Saints traded up and used the No. 11 overall pick on him in the 2022 draft.
Olave was entering the final year of his four-year, $19,271,875 contract that included a $11,195,909 signing bonus when the team exercised his fifth-year option worth $15.49 million guaranteed for 2026.
In 2025, Olave has appeared in six games for the Saints and caught 39 passes on 64 targets for 342 yards receiving and one touchdown.
We will have more on Olave as it becomes available.
